Sundrops (Evening Primrose)

"Elizabeth, do you know if deer would eat them? Our yellow ones are in our fenced-in backyard and safe from the deer. I can think of the perfect spot outside the fence for the pink evening primrose -- as long as deer won't eat them!"

A Small Victory Over the Deer That Has Been Ravaging Our Garden

Posted on July 15, 2011 at 9:08pm 6 Comments

In the almost 8 years that my husband and I have been living in our current home, deer have only come in our backyard 4 or 5 times. Until this year...

 

Our backyard is completely fenced in, but it is only a post and rail fence (with chicken wire on it to keep the rabbits out) and is about three and a half feet tall. However, most of the backyard has trees or shrubs around the perimeter against the fence. I have read that deer won't jump a fence if they can't clearly see where…

Clare,  The house has some landscaping but needs more.  There are a few shrubs and Hydrangeas and Crepe Myrtles in the front and back.  I will be moving my Iris there and will work some perennials  in.  Would like to plant a few more trees.  Just had the termite inspection done today and they found that there were termites.  So, tomorrow Matt is going to Nashville to get another inspection done while he is there to see how bad and it sheet rock needs to be taken out so they can see how much damage.  If too bad, we will have to look for another house.:(  Hope all goes well.

Clare, Your garden should be featured in every garden magazine.  It is gorgeous!  When we moved to this house last August, I had visioned doing some of the things you've done since I now have the space.  However,  we are moving again. This time to Nashville and the house we found has a smaller yard, again, but this time no neighbors looking down into it.  It sits on the golf coarse so it will still be a challenge to get looking the way I want.  Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden pics!   It's very inspiring!

Oh my, that is one determined groundhog. I am betting thats what got at my greenbeans last year. All the tops were ate off. I seen one not too far from my garden area. I was assuming rabbits were doing it. lol

Thanks Clare, I think you're right.. about 3 years old... but this one doesn't seem to want to climb very much.

Clare, this yellow sunshine rose has a wonderful sent. Last year it didn't bloom very well but this year, with poop, it has come alive! I put a few pics on so take a look if you like. Thanks Clare. :)
